What is GUN Token?

The GUN token is the native token created by the AAA game studio Gunzilla Games, closely linked to its exclusive blockchain GUNZ. The GUNZ blockchain is based on Avalanche The subnet technology, designed specifically for high-performance game trading, while the GUN token is the core circulating currency of this eco. Gunzilla Games’ flagship game ‘Off The Grid’ (OTG) went live in 2024. As a cross-platform shooting game, it has brought the trading function of the GUN token to global players.

Unlike other game tokens, GUN tokens are not just a reward tool within the game, but also a digital asset with real trading value. With the support of decentralized markets and mainstream exchanges, GUN tokens provide users with diverse trading options.
